Well, ok, good for you getting out of there... it sounds like a real dump. I do remember a similar experience just after graduating college, the first apartment I found on my own. I was glad to find something so cheap and just signed moments after seeing it, etc etc.. and after my father saw it, he managed to get me out of my lease as there were probably many code violations, though I lost my security deposit...
I am glad to hear you are finished with that place and on to the next...
